Hi team ,

I have started working from jul2019 and I have filed my tax return for 2020 and 2021 tax years.


However I note that there was withholding of some amount in 2017-2018 and 2019 tax years ( withholding from comission received from insurance commission from lic and United india)

I have not filed 2017, 2018, 2019 return as my total income was less than threshold

Is it possible to file return for 2017 , 2018, 2019( all r in refund) now without paying any penalty?

I have an offer and want to negotiate

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

I'm not going to get back 5 hours of my life.

Engagement ring questions!
1) Isn’t it weird to pick your own ring? I’m a big advocate of making the marriage decision together/against waiting for the man to “pop the question”/cheesy proposals, but I feel strange being involved in this process. It almost feels entitled and takes some of the romance away. Is it hypocrite of me? Of course I’d rather get my ideal ring than something I like less but still. How do you feel about it?
